At Honest Elderberry Co, we strive to offer a healthier alternative to many shelf stable, store-bought elderberry supplements. Unlike those loaded with refined sugar, artificial additives, and preservatives, our elderberry syrup is carefully crafted using organic ingredients that come directly from nature and nothing more. Our syrups are made fresh weekly, ensuring freshness and quality. We take pride in using raw honey sourced locally to naturally sweeten our syrups without any artificial thickeners, preservatives, or colors. Our process involves gently combining the raw honey with cooled elderberry liquid, avoiding any pressure cooking or hot pouring methods that might compromise the natural goodness. This means our syrups require refrigeration upon arrival to maintain their integrity. We prepare and ship our syrups promptly to ensure they reach you with plenty of shelf life left, but refrigeration is essential once they arrive at your doorstep.

All of our products are food-based ingredients with nothing artificial added. If you have an allergy to any of the ingredients, then you need to avoid. Otherwise, consult with your doctor.

Our elderberry products are made in a commercial kitchen in North Carolina and our kits, teas and honey are made in a commercial kitchen in South Carolina. We ship from South Carolina.

Our elderberry syrup does need to be refrigerated. The shrub, honeys, tallow products and teas do not. The tallow products should be stored in a cool location as they will melt if they get left in the car. But no worries if it does happen, just bring them inside or set them in the refrigerator and they will solidify back.

We priority ship orders within 2 business days. Most customers receive their products within 3-5 days after ordering.
